Scored a couple of Jean Cartiers on Ebay

Scored an alto and a tenor on Ebay. Need overhuals and the alto needs a neck but certainly not ready for the parts bin yet.

Excellent haul my friend. Don't you just love a good deal on some great old horns?;)

They look like Dolnets to me. Is that the case?

I haven't heard of this make before.

Yes, they are Dolnet stencil horns.

I also picked up a Jean Cartier horn over the weekend... A bari from my old high school. It hadn't been played since it last came back from the repair shop, and looks to only need 1 needle spring replaced (it's missing on the octave key mechanism). Sounds really good otherwise. Appearances are, well, like a really old high school horn... ;)

An interesting aspect is this horn looks nothing like a Dolnet, but looks everything like a Beaugnier. In addition, the engraved logo isn't "Art Deco" style, but is very simple; "JEAN CARTIER" in an arc at the top, "ARTISTE" through the middle, and "PARIS, FRANCE" in an arc at the bottom. Serial # is 6xxx.

Seems like I have seen a couple of Jean Cartier altos on ebay that were not dolnets. Don't really remember the details though. The ones I purchased are straight belair stencils I believe. They don't appear to have the extra keywork of the Royal Jazz models.
